Basic Calculator Tutorial in Visual

Basic .NET
Tags: VB.NET, VB 2008, VB 2010, VB 2012, VB 2013
This tutorial will show you how to make a basic calculator in visual basic .net.
Source Code for the calculator project is available at the end of page 3 of this
tutorial.

Create a new project.

You can change the form text to "your name's calculator". Click on
the form and then go to propertieswindow, then change the text property.
You also need to disable the maximize control of the form. That's because
you don't want the user to maximize the calculator. Go to
the properties window, and change the maximize box property to False:

You also need to change the FormBorderStyle property to Fixed3D

Add a button to the form and place on top of the form:

You might be surprised of this button because we should have placed a
textbox instead. Well, this is the cool thing about Visual Basic, you can use a
button to display text and results.
Now we have to change the button properties to look like a text box.
First we change it's text to "0.".

We align the text to be on the right. Right click on the button, click on
properties. In the properties window change TextAlign to MiddleRight:
Choose the box in the middle right (the blue one in the image above)

Change the FlatStyle of the button. In the properties window

change FlatStyle to Flat:

You also need to change the color of the button. Go to the properties window
and change the backcolor property to white:
There are two more properties you need to
change: TabStop to False and Enabled to False.

Your button should look like this now:
